Ground Squirrels cause lots of damage in pastures and crops and their holes can cripple cattle and horses. Pest control methods such as poisoning, etc. is too expensive. So, you call out the snipers to reduce the population.

I finally broke down and spent the day going through dvd’s from last year’s squirrel shooting trips. I didn’t try to do anything artistic with this video, but it does quell the basic need for seeing squirrels getting whacked… I’ll try to get up some more videos in the next week or two, so check back.

All of these squirrels were shot using my Savage 17hmr accutrigger, with Hornady 17gr ballistic tip bullets. On a side note, there’s nothing like having a video camera mounted on your rifle to show you when you jerk the trigger.

It’s winter, and I’m weary of it. Here’s a 9 minute squirrel shooting video to get every body thinking about the new squirrel hunting season. The squirrels will start popping up in March, and as soon as they start popping up, I’m going to start popping them.

These guys are using a 22 magnum and a hand held camera, so the camera work is a little shaky from time to time, but we all started out that way.

I pulled out my camera yesterday and pulled the disk that I shot this spring in Grass Valley. It has over 45 minutes of squirrels popping and dropping and me missing every once in awhile. I will, of course, edit out the pictures of me missing squirrels, and then get that video cut up into smaller pieces and posted to the site.

I’m using a new piece of software, that lets you turn Sony Handycam videos into AVI’s. It’s free, and lets you make videos up to 5 minutes long, so we’ll see what happens….

One of our guys from the forum, AlaskaShooter, has attached a video camera to his .17HMR rifle, so that you can see the devastation of hitting a small, fur bearing animal, with a high velocity, ballistic tip, round moving at over 2500 feet per second. (OK, he might be using hollow points from the way the first one ricocheted, but the squirrels still pop-and-drop pretty good.)

Here’s the video. If you like it, which you should, drop by the forums and tell AlaskaShooter he rocks… (Which he does.)

Nikki, who did the video below this one too, sent me a new one that has over 200 squirrels being shot with a .17 HMR, using Hornady Ballistic Tips. You should see how thick these squirrels are, or were, it’s kind of creepy. (Like Hitchcock’s “Birds”, only with squirrels instead.)

I need to find out where this is so I can go there. All of this footage was shot in 2 days.

There are a couple of shots on this video of two squirrel with one round, and the last two shots are from 304 and 357 yards out. The video is a little over 6 minutes, and worth watching. Watch and enjoy…

Check out this video of a squirrel and a snake going at it. The snake is trying to get away, and the squirrel is eating it’s tail as it tries to get away. I don’t know who to root for, since I like shooting squirrels and snakes. LOL
